Okay, one other thing I'd like to rule out. In that thread is another post by Hugo with a downloadable e0000 ROM file. Apparently this was required at the time to enable the then-unused memory banks. I assumed this fix was rolled into or superseded by newer versions of Hijack, but then noticed that Hugo planned to put the fix into future releases (ie 2.01?).

I've downloaded and attempted to install it via FTP. My FTP-fu is admittedly weak and I can't tell whether the file was updated or not. The file date (before and after) remained the same, although the command executed successfully. Here's what transpired:

Code:

After rebooting and looking at the boot log the memory write at 0c0000 still failed. I'm really not convinced that the file was overwritten though. I wish I could install the 2.01 developer image to rule this out. Which one of the blue guys should I ask about that?
